Thank you for choosing me

My sister, the spitting image of you,

It's like a mirror, we all know it's true.

I look at my blue eyes and blonde hair and don't see how it's fair

She looks like you and I look like someone who doesn't care

You taught me how to love in our own special way,

And that love I have cherished every single day.

I hold on to every moment we share,

Knowing one day will be our last, and you won't be there

The love you've given me, the life you've shown

Will live on forever in my heart, forever known.

Even now, the thought encapsulates my body,

And I am filled with unimaginable dread.

But I'll hold onto the love you've given me,

And I'll remember it in my head.

You've been my rock, my guiding light,

And I'll treasure you always, in my heart, so bright.

I want to say thank you,

For all that you've done,

I may not have your eyes or your smile, but you've given me so much more,

A father's love that I've had the privilege to adore
